Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING 25 MPH DRIVING ON PARAMOUNT BLVD AT WHITTIER BLVD, IN PICO RIVERA, CA, WHEN THE CAR MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, THEN FELT AS THOUGH WE WERE DRAGGING SOMETHING. ONLY DROVE 50 FEET BEFORE PULLING OVER, AS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. WE THOUGHT IT WAS INITIALLY A FLAT TIRE, UNTIL WE GOT OUT. OUR MECHANIC INSPECTED IT, AND DETERMINED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD FAILED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT WAS CLEAR FROM THE PICTURE THAT THE BALL JOINT WAS RUSTED AND SNAPPED FREE OF ITS HOUSING.
